Are your student’s phones out in your class? Are they more interested in texting on their phones and looking things up on their phones rather than participating in class? Well, put their technology to work in their learning – Kahoots! Nope, not a sneeze! And nope, nothing to sneeze at! Students LOVE this. They get to use their phones, they get quizzed and find out what they know and don’t know, and the teacher finds out what they know and don’t know as well. It is not only a learning tool, but an instructional tool that faculty can use to reinforce information, or revisit information that their students are not understanding.

Do your students struggle with critical thinking? Do your students struggle with, “in this situation, I will first do….? then do……? and lastly do……? What takes priority? How will I know?” If your students struggle with prioritization, then this learning activity is for you!

As we know, all students learn differently. As instructors, we try to incorporate as many learning activities for our classes that will span all the different learning styles because when we combine all the students, all learning styles are represented. We also know that some students prefer to do certain learning activities in their own privacy, while they find other learning activities/teaching methods are more helpful to their learning in the classroom setting with their faculty. What do we do????
